Kootenai River Inn gets upgrades and
improvements |
|
June 23, 2014 |
The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho’s casino and hotel,
the Best Western Plus Kootenai River Inn Casino
and Spa, has upgraded its amenities and added
new gaming machines.
The project includes 105 new games and a new
layout in the casino, as well as new interior
work throughout the facility, a new high-tech
air purification system and brand-new HDTVs in
all guest rooms.
“The idea is to continue to respond to what our
guests are looking for in a destination casino
experience,” said Tom Turpin, general manager.
The new air purification system completely
eliminates tobacco smoke and odor, according to
the manufacturer, Casino Air. The system uses
activated oxygen created by molecular oxidizers,
and eliminates all other microorganisms at the
same time.
“It makes an immediate difference as soon as you
walk through our doors,” Turpin said. “We
welcome people to come experience the new clean
air feel and smell.”
According to Turpin, room bookings have exceeded
expectations with the new wing of 36 rooms in
the Kootenai Falls Lodge, which opened one year
ago. “It’s been a phenomenal response,” he said.
The Best Western Plus Kootenai River Inn Casino
and Spa is located at 7169 Plaza Street in
Bonners Ferry, overlooking the Kootenai River.
It features 101 guest rooms, most with
riverfront views, private balconies, walk-in
showers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, in-room
safes, Keurig® coffee makers and free Internet
access.
Owned by the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho and managed
by Hagadone Hospitality Co., the Best Western
Plus Kootenai River Inn Casino and Spa opened in
1986 and has continued to expand. It holds the
Best Western Champion Design Award for 2013, one
of just 12 to receive the designation out of
more than 2,400 properties in the U.S. and
Canada. The facility consistently receives the
Best Western Director’s Award, placing it among
the top operations in the hotel group.
“We are certainly proud of this property as the
flagship of our Tribal enterprises,” said
Kootenai Tribe of Idaho Chairman Gary Aitken,
Jr. “We continue to look for great new ways to
please our guests.”
